The amendments to the Labor Standards Act ("LSA"), effective 1 July 2011 ("LSA Amendments"), revise penalty provisions and authorize the labor authorities to publish the names of noncomplying entities and their responsible persons (Articles 75 to 79 and Article 80). In general, the maximum fines that may be imposed for noncompliance with the LSA have been increased fivefold; i.e., a fine that used to range from NT$ 6,000 to NT$ 150,000 now ranges from NT$ 20,000 to NT$ 750,000.
